Here is another AudioPost from Arsene Wenger’s interview by SkySports after Arsenal struggled to take the points of Newcastle yesterday. He admitted that the Magpies made it hard for a ‘tired’ Arsenal side but he was pleased with our mental qualities.

Petr Cech also got a special mention for keeping us in the game – and he reckons that he will be buying ‘at least’ one player his transfer window as the Gunners midfield is looking ‘a little short’…

Cech was good i agree but to be fair the Necastle players couldn’t hit a barn door at the moment. We were let off so many times its untrue.
And I hardly knew Walcott and Mertesacker were on the pitch. How many times did they touch the ball?
I certainly knew the ox was playing coz he was rubbish!

next:
gabriel to come in for mert,
campbell for ox.
but we ceded the defensive midfield area too easily: there was no plug-stopper (coq) there.
we were tired but i think we still havent figured out how to be effective when teams park the bus against us: newcastle packed the 18yd box and we dont know how to coax them out of it.
